Two wonderful avant-weirdos, one live side, one studio side, infinite possibilities... many of them cashed in. Anthony Braxton is one of my heroes and ends up in my feed regularly, here he teams up with Richard Teitelbaum (synth wizard and founding member of early electronic outsiders Musica Elettronica Viva) for two sets of incredibly unique and captivating music. Teitelbaum makes his Moogs bubble, gurgle, and squeal while Braxton dives in headfirst with outre sounds of his own via saxes and contrabass clarinet. Throughout the two remain completely locked into each other - you can’t help but hear the sound of listening. Muy simpático! at Los Angeles, California

Some Mondays you want to start off with some gentle sounds to ease your way into the day; for times where a more direct approach is necessary, something like this 1969 Anthony Braxton album might work better. AB and crew turn themselves loose on a wide variety of noisemakers here and let loose music that ranges from spiritual to whimsical, sometimes hitting both in the span of a few seconds. Heck, at times it might not even *be* music, depending on how strict your definition is. I’m all for rewriting the rules, these guys sound like they were doing it on the fly and enjoying every noisy minute of it. at Los Angeles, California

[ENGLISH] I am curating a show with drawings by New York based artist Morgan O'Hara (*1941) at @chimera.project gallery in Budapest, which opens next week Tuesday, April 24th 2018.

Anthony Braxton is a composer and multi-instrumentalist, and is widely known in avant-garde and free jazz circles. Since the 1960s, he’s released more than 100 albums.
That’s a discography that is hard to keep up with, so I only have a passing knowledge of his work.
This album, though, from 1976, and inspired by both jazz and marching band traditions, is pretty accessible. It’s well worth a listen, especially if you like some searching and spontaneity in your music. As Braxton says on the liner notes, “the average rehearsal time for each composition was a little more than two hours, and nobody had seen the music in advance.
Interestingly, the original titles of these compositions were cryptic diagrams with letters and numbers. 👉

I found this in the dollar bin at the local record store over the weekend. I was surprised to see it there at all, and even more surprised to find it was in great condition. -

Today at #ryansspeakeasy is #Anthonybraxton the album is New York, Fall 1974. Now I think I’m allll smart with all the worthless degrees I have. Not really. This dude taught at Wesleyan, recorded more than 100 albums, and got a fucking MacArthur genius grant. Put that in your pipe and smoke it (see what I did there?). Also, fall in New York in the 1970s sounds delightful.

"If you take the creation of music and the creation of your own life values as your overall goal, then living becomes a musical process." #ceciltaylor r.i.p.
when i was in my twenties, jazz was seldom televised on local t.v. So, when there was a two hour program on the history of blue note records, it was like manna from heaven.
i will always remember it was the first time i had seen #stanleyjordan
play on t.v. And there was #freddiehubbards immaculate trumpeting on watermelon man, and kenny burrells smooth guitar riffs.
then, this man comes on stage playing the most intense and slightly disturbing solo piano piece ever. My initial reaction to it was shock. Then confusion. Then mystery. It hasnt left me since.
the piece was entitled pondos cantados. The musician was cecil taylor.
i spent some days thinking of the piece, and after that, went out to look for his work.
the cecil taylor quartet ranks as one of the most groundbreaking jazz groups ever. Taylor, the great steve lacy, #buellneidlinger#archieshepp and dennis charles. Together with the ornette coleman quartet, the john coltrane quartet, and the anthony braxton quartet, the group, for me, pushed jazz to a point where the music became an innovative balance between music, and sound.
taylor had the virtuosity of a saint, and the audacious power of a rebel intellectual. With a depth of insight so profound, it was soaked in every note that he played.
defying any stance of commercialism.
he was a pure and true individual. And he lived his music with great integrity and dignity.
God bless you Mr Taylor and thank you for the sonics.
